The correct answer is John Dalton.

In 1803, John Dalton proposed his atomic theory, a groundbreaking contribution to chemistry. A key aspect of his theory was the use of simple symbols—circles with letters inside—to represent the atoms of different elements. This was a significant advancement in representing the fundamental building blocks of matter. Prior to Dalton's work, there was no standardized way to visually represent atoms and their interactions. Dalton's system provided a concrete way to depict chemical reactions and the composition of compounds. His simple yet effective symbols laid the groundwork for future developments in chemical notation and understanding. While other scientists contributed to the development of chemistry, Dalton's visual representation of atoms using circles and letters became a cornerstone of atomic theory. His work marked a significant turning point in how scientists conceptualized and visualized the atomic nature of matter.

The other options are incorrect. Antoine Lavoisier is known for his contributions to the law of conservation of mass, Amedeo Avogadro for Avogadro's law, and Jöns Jacob Berzelius for his development of modern chemical notation (though different from Dalton's symbols). These were all significant contributions to chemistry, but none of them used circles and arrows in 1803 to depict atoms.
